Essay / Research Paper Abstract
There was a time in the not too distant past when law enforcement relied heavily upon luck and anonymous tips to help them solve crimes; today, technology has provided a collection of forensic tools that not only solves current crime faster and with greater accuracy but also brings closure to cold cases that were not solvable until these tools became a reality. Photographic evidence is one of the most important elements of forensic criminology because of the direct link it provides to identifying who was at the crime scene by what he was wearing, driving and/or left behind.

methodology as evidence based upon being "sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the particular field in which it belongs" (Cutler, 2009, p. 72). Therefore, the Frye pretrial
hearing can be requested in both state and federal courts to challenge the validity of a particular form of technological evidence, such as a digital photograph. Up until the
late 1970s, the judge based his decision upon the 1923 standard of U.S. v. Frye whereby the defendant intended to prove his innocence with the outcome of a lie detector
